The Justice Department has launched a civil rights investigation into Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson after he boasted about hiring Black staffers, a blatant violation of federal anti-discrimination law.
At the center of the probe is Johnson’s racially charged statement made at a church event: “There’s no other city in the country that has a Black man as mayor, a Black woman as the chief administrator, a Black woman as the city attorney, a Black woman as the deputy mayor, and a Black woman as the chief of staff.”
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, who now heads the DOJ Civil Rights Division under Trump, confirmed the probe was opened to determine whether Johnson’s comments reflect a broader pattern of racial bias in hiring practices. “Title VII does not allow racial favoritism—period,” she told AP News.
Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, it is illegal to base employment decisions on race, even with good intentions. Legal experts say Johnson’s admissions could serve as “direct evidence” of discrimination.
“This isn’t equity—it’s racism by another name,” said legal analyst Hans von Spakovsky of the Heritage Foundation. “The DOJ is finally doing its job after years of looking the other way under Biden.”
Johnson has not denied the comments. Instead, he doubled down in a press conference, saying, “Black women have been locked out of leadership for too long.” But critics say that kind of thinking sets a dangerous precedent.
Conservatives blasted the mayor for creating a racially divided City Hall while crime and homelessness continue to plague Chicago. “Brandon Johnson is more concerned with identity politics than actually governing,” said Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk.
According to AP News, the DOJ’s investigation is in its early stages but will likely include subpoenas and interviews with City Hall insiders. If violations are confirmed, the city could face legal penalties and be forced to implement race-neutral hiring policies.
“Public employment is not a social experiment,” Dhillon said. “It must be grounded in merit, not identity.”
MUST WATCH: Karoline Leavitt Roasts Kamala Harris
Cackling Kamala Harris attempted yet another “comeback” this week, and as usual, it backfired. Promoted by the paid liberal media as a political resurgence, her speech only served to remind Americans why her attempt to clinch the White House seat failed.
At a recent press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt delivered a brutal but accurate takedown of Harris’ so-called comeback. With a pointed tone, Leavitt said, “I think I speak for everyone at the White House. We encourage Kamala Harris to continue going out and doing speaking engagements.” The sarcasm wasn’t lost on anyone. It was a direct jab at Harris’ endless trail of awkward gaffes and incoherent statements that have become a national joke.
Leavitt didn’t stop there. She continued, “The President and everyone, frankly, was surprised by the Democrats refusing to stand for, not the President’s policies because, frankly, we expected that, but for the everyday Americans who President Trump was shining a light on their stories.” This comment highlighted the administration’s view that Democrats are out of touch with the concerns of ordinary Americans.
The Vice President’s latest public appearance was intended to rebrand her image and reignite enthusiasm within the Democratic base. Instead, it was yet another confusing mess of repetitive buzzwords, disjointed phrases, and hollow rhetoric. Harris rambled through her speech with the same uncomfortable laugh and vacant expressions that have marked her public career. There was no vision. There was no leadership. Just a predictable string of empty platitudes that no one outside the Democrat echo chamber could take seriously.
Leavitt’s reaction was more than justified. Harris has become one of the most ineffective vice presidents in American history. Whether she is failing to address the crisis at the southern border, dodging accountability, or embarrassing the country on the world stage, her performance has consistently fallen short. And the American people know it.
Even the media outlets overseas, which typically avoid criticizing leftist figures, have begun to mock her. Her “word salads” have become legendary, and every attempt at rebranding only highlights her incompetence. Every speech she gives becomes another viral clip for all the wrong reasons.
MUST WATCH: President Trump Destroys ABC Reporter During Interview
President Donald J. Trump didn’t mince words in a high-stakes interview with ABC News host Terry Moran on April 29, 2025, marking the first major broadcast sit-down of his second term. The interview, meant to reflect on the President’s first 100 days back in office, quickly turned into a fiery confrontation with Trump holding the legacy media accountable live on air.
Early into the discussion, Moran questioned the President on his sweeping executive orders targeting illegal immigration and restoring law and order at the border. Trump interrupted, visibly unimpressed with the line of questioning. “I don’t trust you,” the President said directly to Moran, before adding, “You’re with ABC. You’re fake news.”
The interview, which aired on ABC and was covered widely across networks, showcased the President’s no-nonsense approach to hostile media. Trump reminded viewers that Moran and networks like ABC have been part of a long-running propaganda machine pushing anti-Trump narratives. “They’ve been wrong about everything,” Trump said. “Russia hoax, COVID lies, January 6th — all of it.”
When Moran pressed him on his governing style, insinuating that his aggressive use of executive orders amounted to authoritarianism, Trump hit back. “They call it autocratic when I do it. But if Biden does it, it’s just government policy,” Trump said. The crowd at a follow-up town hall reportedly erupted in applause when clips were replayed online.
In a post-interview statement, Trump explained why he agreed to speak with Moran despite the network’s track record. “He’s been fairer than most. I don’t like them, but I don’t hide from them,” Trump said, reiterating his belief that transparency with the American people doesn’t require coddling from journalists.
The President also used the opportunity to underscore the successes of his second term so far. “We’ve lowered taxes, restarted energy production, and put an end to Biden’s open border chaos,” he declared. Moran attempted to redirect the conversation to Trump’s tone, but the President refused to take the bait, insisting, “The media wants me to be soft while they destroy the country. Not going to happen.”
This exchange is already being praised in conservative circles as another example of Trump’s leadership in the face of a dishonest press. Supporters on social media hailed the moment as “vintage Trump,” where he exposes the establishment while speaking directly to the American people.
Even some on the left admitted the moment was powerful. MSNBC host Joe Scarborough said the interaction “highlighted the media’s inability to control Trump” and admitted Moran “got steamrolled on his own show.”
BREAKING: Federal Appeals Court Gives Trump Massive Victory
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 to halt Boasberg’s outrageous move. Judges Gregory Katsas and Neomi Rao, appointed by President Trump, overruled the Obama-appointed Boasberg. Only Judge Nina Pillard, a liberal appointee, dissented.
Boasberg, who had failed to issue a written injunction in time, tried to retroactively criminalize the Trump administration’s decisive action. In a shocking move, Boasberg claimed the deportations were a “flagrant violation” and said there was “sufficient evidence to conclude that there is probable cause to believe the government is in criminal contempt.”
But President Trump didn’t hold back. In a statement, he said:
“A single judge in a single city cannot direct the movements of an aircraft … full of foreign alien terrorists who were physically expelled from U.S. soil.”
He added, “This radical left lunatic should be impeached immediately.”
Trump further emphasized that Boasberg’s attempt to criminalize border enforcement was “an outrageous abuse of power” and “a clear example of the deep state’s obsession with undermining strong American leadership.”
Boasberg, however, claimed the government “willfully defied” him and even threatened to appoint a prosecutor if the officials did not “purge the contempt.” But the appeals court’s decision firmly shut down his judicial overreach.
BOMBSHELL: New Information on The D.C. Helicopter Crash in January Reveals…
The deadly January 29, 2025, midair collision between a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter and American Airlines Flight 5342 is now confirmed to be a result of ignored warnings and systemic failure by federal aviation authorities. Under President Biden’s watch, the military and airspace control systems have become dangerously compromised, and Americans are paying the price
Capt. Rebecca M. Lobach, the Black Hawk pilot, was instructed multiple times to alter course moments before the deadly crash that killed all 67 onboard the civilian aircraft. According to the National Transportation Safety Board, air traffic control issued a clear directive to “pass behind the CRJ,” but the helicopter continued its deadly path — with no response from the cockpit.
“Potomac helicopter, traffic 10 o’clock, less than a mile, CRJ-700, 800 feet above you,” the controller said, as cited in the Daily Beast. “Do you have that traffic in sight?”
Seconds later: “Potomac helicopter, maintain visual separation. Pass behind the CRJ.”
No turn was executed. No response came from the helicopter crew.
WHY?
Astonishingly, investigators discovered the pilot may not have heard the command due to “a stuck mic”—a radio error blamed on the helicopter’s own crew holding the button down. The FAA and Army have no system in place to ensure commands are heard in critical airspace near our nation’s capital. In an environment already strained under DEI-focused hiring and politicized training priorities, basic operational safety has fallen to the wayside.
“This was preventable,” said NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy. “The FAA knew this type of visual separation procedure in that airspace was dangerous. They just didn’t act fast enough.”
Indeed, the NTSB has now flagged 85 near-miss events just like this between 2021 and 2024 — all happening under the Biden administration’s tenure. The safety agency urgently recommended the FAA restrict helicopter use on Route 4 near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, a notorious flight corridor previously flagged for its deadly risk.
Even more damning? There was only one air traffic controller monitoring both the helicopter and the commercial jetliner at the time of the crash. One person, underpaid, overworked, and likely promoted under woke hiring standards instead of merit, was expected to manage a high-risk zone.
“It was an extremely stressful environment,” an anonymous FAA source told Washington Post, citing chronic staffing shortages and Biden’s failure to fill key transportation leadership posts with qualified personnel.
